Craddock Terry Hotel, Lynchburg, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

From the very beginning at check-in, we felt welcome and at home at this Hotel. We were there for a wedding weekend, and it could not have been better. We had a Premium King room in the William Henry wing. Very large room (507), King bed, very comfortable, clean and spacious. A couch and chair were also in the room accented by a brick wall. The bathroom was very large with a soaking tub, rain shower, and plenty of room. We had one small issue with the Waterstone restaurant over charging us, but that was handled immediately by the staff when I explained the situation. This is a great hotel. Also conveniently located to a beautiful walking trail along the river and an easy walk to shops if you don't mind hills! :-).

A really lovely hotel. It is near center of Lynchburg. You might want to drive into town. It is near the river and bluff walks. Easy walks to roof top bars and restaurants. Area is under construction right now. Just lovely furnishings in an old shoe factory with friendly helpful staff. Really enjoyed my stay. FYI - Not too far from Appomattox Courthouse. Really enoyed the ranger talk.

Love this hotel!!

Absolutely love this hotel, such a gem in such a great little city. The women at the front desk are lovely and the hotel is so unique and cozy. We will absolutely be back!

I love the Craddock. It’s my favorite hotel in my city. It’s clean, offers friendly and super accommodating hotel staff. It’s refreshing as a staycation or for someone who is visiting our fair city.

I visited the CT as I was offered a comp night in a suite after having reservation issues with them twice in the past couple of years. Issues were due to room type changes etc so nothing pertaining to hotel quality… and decided to take a long weekend with one of my kids visiting friends in the area. Room- we stayed in the first floor suite, which I am guessing is one of the top rooms they offer. Nice room with exposed brick and stone on the walls. Plenty of space, balcony/patio which was not expected, and above my expectation overall. Cleanliness - I expected some issues given the door to the outdoor patio. There were cobwebs hanging throughout the room itself, webs/dirt around the door leading outside, a couple of noticeable dead bugs in the bathroom/by the door… and when fetching some toys my son lost under the couch, you could tell it had not been vacuumed in some time with dirt built up, whole pieces of food etc. there was also food leftover in the wet bar sink, and stains on the couch itself. I felt this fell short of the standard mark. Safety- While I am guessing this is the only room this is an issue with… the “glass door” leading to the balcony is not very reassuring. The only functional lock is the top door latch which allows the door to open a few inches. A simple jiggle of the door handle itself outside unlocks the lock on the handle itself, and there is no dead bolt. The balcony is only enclosed by a waist high metal fence next to the hotel entrance door on the first floor, which gets regular foot traffic. Entertainment - this room offered a tv in the living room and bedroom itself, probably 35-42 inches or so. No issue with the size, but with this being a Marriott property I was surprised when the tvs only offered Directtv/HBO. No ability to access streaming services which seems to the be the norm for Marriotts nowadays. Could certainly use an upgrade. Noise - Again, knew what to expect with the train nearby. We brought my son’s noise machine with that in mind and while not able to drown it out, he was able to sleep through. However, more noticeable was the noise above our first floor room. I believe that room sits close, if not directly below the main lobby. You can hear people walking and it is very noticeable when people are rolling luggage, luggage carts, or other items across the floor, especially during late night check ins. Did not plan for that based on my last stay being on a higher floor, so it was inconvenient at least. Customer service - the staff was fantastic from the front desk through housekeeping. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and willing to assist in anyway. Certainly seems they pride themselves on this. Value - while we stayed for 3 nights, we only paid for 2 given the comp night we were offered. Even so, paying for two nights and parking each day came to upwards of $600 on what seemed to be a slower weekend in the area... so a fair guess would be $900+ if paying the full 3 nights. Wonder how high it
